Health and safety policy

The Grangemouth site operates to strict regulations that are set by the UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and the Scottish Environment Agency (SEPA). We are committed to ensuring that our facilities have as low an impact as possible on local people and the environment to ensure that we are a responsible neighbour.

Our key values are:

Excellence in safety, health and environmental performance

Focus on customer satisfaction, total quality and reliability

Continuous improvement to become the lowest cost producer of high quality products

Be the supplier of choice to our customers

Encouragement of innovation and reward for achievement

Empowerment of employees to create real value for our customers and ourselves

Our commitment is to protect the health and safety of our employees, the communities in which we operate and the users of our products. We aim to meet or exceed all relevant legislative requirements and minimise the effect of our operations on the environment.

We take our responsibility for the environment very seriously and remain committed to delivering a record of responsible environmental performance across all our operations at Grangemouth.

Grangemouth Major Incident Control Committee

This committee was established in 1968 to oversee vitally important matters such as Public Warning, Training and Exercising, mutual aid and assistance between companies and the provision of technical advice should it be needed.

The Committee comprises partners from Industry (including INEOS at Grangemouth), Police Scotland, Scottish Fire and Rescue Service and Falkirk Council.

Our world-scale petrochemical plants make around 1 million tonnes per annum of product, used as the building blocks in the manufacture of household items that society depends upon every day. These include synthetic ethanol, ethylene, propylene and polymers: polyethylene and polypropylene.
